Fig. 6From: Modulating the import of medium-chain alkanes in E. coli through tuned expression of FadLSignificance of FadL in for the whole-cell biosensing of medium chain alkanes. a Change of fluorescence over 3 h from the wild type BW25113 strain and the ΔfadL strain transformed with the alkane biosensor on pSB50C7 and induced using octane, decane, and dodecane. b Rate of increase in fluorescence in arbitrary units per minute due to alkane biosensor activation with each alkane, columns display the average of each pair of duplicate conditions at 3 hBack to article page
